ARN - Heavy Rapier Only?

[Wayne Ross]

Please note that I did not call anyone a second class citizen.

But while we are using that term, let me remind you that the current status
quo makes HR fighters the second class citizens, because they are the ones
having sideline tourneys.

Just by giving HR main billing, it would not magically turn non-HR princes
into second class frogs.

Sincerely,

Duncan Hepburn
